    RTH obstacle avoidance in action

    I attempted to fly to a friends place on Pensacola Beach. Stayed out over the water most of the way and got to their cove and lost RC signal. Had the RTH height set to 150 feet as I thought that was plenty high enough over the water. Well, RTH course is a straight line to the home point, right...

    Scary Return Home

    Mavic Pro paralysed by an obstacle 149,600,000 km away - Has anyone else seen this? Out at dawn on the weekend to get some early morning scenery, so I stand with the sun behind me and fly the Mavic out in front of me and up into the distance to about 45m altitude. Then I press the RTH button...

    Mavic Saves Itself from Epic Pilot Error. Mistakes were made...

    Here's photographic proof that Return to Home Obstacle Avoidance really works. I'm flying around this mountain when I decide to do a scrim shot off of a prominance. I'm enjoying fixed wing mode making these really long passes shoothing 4K video. When all of a sudden I pull the biggest epic...

    In Sport mode and obstacle avoidance during RTH

    I have a hypothetical scenario I wasn't able to find a clear answer for in the manual, or by googling. 1. On the Mavic, the Forward Vision System is Enabled and your RTH Altitude is set to 30 meter/100 feet ( yes, low) 2. You're goofing around in Sport Mode in an urban area. (Forward/downward...

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    I flew a westward mission around 10 AM yesterday morning (location: Georgia, USA) which put the rising Sun at my back. I flew out about 2500 feet, had a look around at the nice landscape then hit RTH for the heck of it. The Mavic turned about and headed eastward (facing the Sun) home but...

    Obstacle Avoidance - Walking Towards Mavic

    Has anyone tried walking towards their Mavic With Obstacle Avoidance on? Does it fly backwards so that you don't walk into it? The one time I tried it I got around a foot away but the mav just hovered in place and beeped. That was back when the firmware was early, probably the first version...
